Saturday sounds good to me. I don't know if I'll have everything done on mine. But I can show up and show some support.

:mrgreen::mrgreen:I HAVE A TRUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mrgreen::mrgreen:
"thumbsup":mrgreen:

It is better than I expected. Some goofy stuff though. Ill use the bronco body for actual rocks and Ill use the chevy silverado for scale off road stuff. Im going to paint the p'up in OD green to look like a military surplus truck. Luckily the truck body is a mess so I feel fine about what Im going to do to it. Id like to make a small aluminum bed box for the rear where the roll bar was. Id like to make a roll cage of sorts eventually. The tires SUCK but I have some nice ones comming. Also the thing is Way faster than I thought it would be (could be the 11.1 volts :ror. It does have tons of torque and can go slow but I see a new speed controller in my future. I swapped out the ultra crappy reciever with a nice one, ditto on transmitter. Waiting on lotsa parts at this point. Put all electronix in waterproof boxes. Yes thats a 5000 mah 3 cell. I had 2 laying around so I figured I might as well put em to good use.

Some pics.

Ok I wont tell him as I havent yet :lmao:

He has a rock pile set up (small) but we can drive all over the gounds 8)

again what time do you want to meet up?

My truck should be functional but not set up right. Im working on a new speed controller (outcry crawler controller) and hoping the new tires get in before sat as mine I have now are useless.

I new he had a small pile last time i was in. If you dont have tire's bring it anyway's i'll let you run a set of my extras. I was thinking around 11-11:30 then we can do lunch some where.If that don't work for anyone else do it in the afternoon so time and his crew can make it.

I recieved some tires in the mail today. I ordered two sets. One set was a set of rock crawler 1.9's and a set of 2.2's on rims. The 1.9's came in. They look like a cool tread and all but they are DINKY compared to the crap tires that are on the truck!! What gives? they say on the sidwall 38x13 r 19 Im not real happy. Though as bad as they are they are probably better thant the ones on it. Hopefully the 2.2's will show up soon. Whatcha all think about this speed controller "rc4wd scale single motor speed control "outcry", RC4WD Scale Crawler Single Motor Speed Control "OutCry"

Turns out Im working till 1pm on saturday (very unfair!!) so how about we do a later thing like say 2pm?? sat. Then I can also meet mod3ds1ash45..... I was driving the truck at work and was lots of fun. Even with the chevron tires it was able to drive over all sorts of stuff

Do you guys try to put as much weight over the front or do you try to balance it?

Hay guys, Well some info for ya, The hobby shop has a very small rock pile, but right outside the River Place, there are rocks and water fountain type landscaping that you could probly do some crawling on (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WATER PROOF EQUIPMENT!!!) . Also, around the way down by the leather shop ( near the wooden bridge) is the rocks that I crawl on, good size ones....

So you guys are going to meet up on Saturday in Fmuth ? I'll try and make it. depending on the GF schedule... LMK thanks
